It is a common myth that neurodiversity is a fancy term for mental illness, but it is crucial to differentiate between neurodiversity and mental health conditions.

How might you provide a gentle correction to someone who has erroneously stated that neurodiversity is the same as mental illness?

人們普遍認為「神經多樣性」是「精神疾病」的一個專業術語,但區分神經多樣性和精神狀況至關重要。

你會如何對那些錯誤地認為「神經多樣性」與「精神疾病」是相同的東西的人,溫和地糾正呢?



Neurodiversity is the natural differences in how people's brains and minds work. It includes autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. These are not illnesses; they are just different ways that the brain works. 

On the other hand, illnesses like depression and worry are related to emotional and mental health. Some neurodiverse people may have problems with their mental health, but it's important to know that neurodiversity is not a mental illness.

神經多樣性是人們大腦和思考工作方式的自然差異。它包括自閉症、多動症和閱讀障礙。這些不是疾病,它們只是大腦運作的不同方式。

另一方面,焦慮症和抑鬱症等精神疾病與情緒和心理健康有關。有些神經多樣性的人可能有心理健康問題,但重要的是要知道神經多樣性不是精神疾病。

Acceptable Answer: anything along this line is acceptable. 和這個答案類似都可以。
